This course builds the skills that help you to speak in English in class and tutorials. At Level 1, you learn how to: - ask about new words; - check sounds in a dictionary; - check pronunciation; - spell words aloud; - say times; - greet; - give personal information; - express likes and dislikes; - request, accept and reject help; - show understanding; - show lack of understanding; - talk about research; - narrate a story; - and keep the conversation going. As well as preparing students for entry into English-medium study, the Skills in English Course is ideal for students who wish to improve their scores in skills-based examinations for university entry requirements, such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). Rather than focusing on exam preparation, Skills in English teaches the necessary skills as part of a systematic programme of language development.
